From Shannon Leahy.... Merielle and Bob were married in an intimate civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall but wanted to have a fabulous reception to celebrate with their family and friends. Aside from being the sweetest couple, they have amazing taste. Merielle LOVES flowers, and on any given day you'll see her dressed stylishly head-to-toe in black rocking her rose gold and black diamond engagement ring. Thus the design was born: sophisticated black-tie glamour with over-the-top floral moments.

It was important for the wedding to be a wonderful evening for their guests, and to still be unique to the couple. They served a beautiful vegan menu and the bride was show-stopping in a gorgeous, black velvet gown and the groom wore a floral dinner jacket. The wedding guests were equally chic, dressed in black and white.

They ended the night by gifting their guests custom-inscribed bottles of Dom Pérignon and departed in a vintage Rolls Royce. The evening was a beautiful celebration of their union, and a night to remember.
